The last Sakamoto Days chapter, titled ‘Sea of Corpses,’ saw Shin and X, now controlled by the Takamura persona, clash inside the drained aquarium tank. Shin struggled to evade his overwhelming attacks, questioning how Sakamoto and Nagumo ever held their own against such force.

Seeking cover in a seal tank also proved futile. When one of X’s men tries to shoot Shin, Takamura killed him instead, targeting their bloodlust. He slaughtered his allies indiscriminately, ignoring Shin. After Shin lead the civilians to safety, Takamura appeared once more. The chapter ended as he seemingly beheads Shin.

Expected plot in Sakamoto Days Chapter 216

Sakamoto Days Chapter 216 will likely confirm whether Shin has survived Takamura/X's final blow. While the imagery strongly implies fatal damage, it may be a near-miss or interrupted attack. It’s possible that someone like Sakamoto, Heisuke, Asakura, or even Boiled intervened in time to save Shin.

The chapter may explore Shin’s injuries and whether he can continue to fight, especially given that he was already exhausted from using his ESP across Japan. The focus could also shift to those preparing to face X’s Takamura persona next as the situation grows increasingly deadly.
